YAY for Weekends!

Now that I'm back among the working, I'm finding a renewed joy in the Weekend. These two days that while on three months medical leave seemed so mundane, so much like all the rest, except for not having to get fried on them, have now become as precious as gold. :)

Well, perhaps that's a tad dramatic, but here I sit with my cup of hot coffee, and no reason to leave the house, or try to do something to my mangy crop of hair, the three that are left, or even coordinate an outfit. I'm in sweat pants and shirt. HAH! Well, yes, they DO coordinate....life is good.

I've always wanted a pair of FitFlop sandals. FootSmart sends me catalogs all the time and they just look so comfy. Of course sandals are not really a good choice at this time, so I just gaze longingly at them, and then move along.

And then, the demon that is Amazon.com showed me FitFlop CLOGS! For many years now, I've been going between Birkenstocks, Sketchers, and yes, I confess, a multitude of colors of Crocs. Oh believe me, in my day, I adored high heels; nothing made my legs look more amazing, but once I started to lose my lung function, and walking became harder and harder, they had to go.

So, anyway, I'm sitting here, sipping my coffee, wearing sweats and ... my new FitFlop Clogs! They did get trapped in Indiana in the snow for a couple of days, but they are here now, and I love 'em! And no, I didn't pay for them in Pounds Sterling. :D

They do something strange to your stride, though, and that takes some getting used to, but they fit very well, look great and feel wonderful. Maybe this summer I will get some sandals.

Now I have a duty to perform; find a good recipe for a nice dinner. So, I am off to research recipes. Keep warm, all, and love to EVERYONE!

About Me

I was diagnosed with Stage IV esophageal cancer in September of 2010. Now I'm fighting for every day I can get, as long as I get good days in the mix.
Then in May of 2011, I was diagnosed with ANOTHER primary cancer, this one much more lethal: Adrenal Gland Cancer.
I know far too much about fear, and I started this blog to help me control it, so that my last days on earth would not be ruled by fear.
I'm doing pretty well, so far. :)
